March 2014, BCRS held a NHSC Virtual Job
Fair for Tribal Sites in collaboration with the
Indian Health Service (IHS) agency. The job
fair provided 20 NHSC sites from ten states
the opportunity to promote primary care
medical, dental, and mental and behavioral
health job openings to a targeted audience of
127 primary care job seekers. Seventeen of
the participating NHSC sites were tribal,
representing 64 unique Indian Health Service

The Affordable Care Act authorized (and
appropriated through a 3% set aside) home
visiting grants to Indian Tribes, Tribal
Organizations or Urban Indian Organizations.
In collaboration with HRSA, the
Administration for Children and Families has
awarded 25 tribal awards that support
community needs assessments, planning and
implementation of high-quality, evidencebased home visiting programs in at-risk Tribal
communities, including research and
evaluation activities to build the knowledge
base on culturally specific home visiting
practices among Tribal populations. Similar
activities take place through sub awards to
tribes and tribal organizations under HRSA’s
home visiting grants to states.
Home visiting services provided under these
grants are designed to improve prenatal,
maternal, and infant health; child health and
development; parenting skills; school
readiness and child academic achievement;
family socio-economic status; coordination of
referrals for other community resources and
support, consistent with the State child
welfare agency training; and to reduce the
incidence of child injuries and maltreatment,
and crime and domestic violence.

A Cooperative Agreement that helps states,
Tribal campuses, Tribes, and Tribal
Organizations develop and implement youth
suicide prevention and early intervention
strategies grounded in public-private
collaboration. Such efforts must involve

comprehensive, consistent information from
all grantees, regardless of the strategies and
programs they implement and the contexts in
which they are implemented. The national
cross-site evaluation of the GLS Youth Suicide

Description
includes data from 45 Tribal grantees in
Cohorts 1-6. The most commonly
implemented strategies among Tribal
grantees included mental health-related
services (50.0%) and traditional healing
practices (44.7%).
Promotes community healing and planning to
address a variety of community problems
including: Substance abuse, historical trauma,
suicide, behavioral health.
Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a classroombased behavior management strategy for
elementary school that teachers use along
with a school's standard instructional
curricula. GBG uses a classroom-wide game
format with teams and rewards to socialize
children to the role of student and reduce
aggressive, disruptive classroom behavior,
which is a risk factor for adolescent and adult
illicit drug abuse, alcohol abuse, cigarette
smoking, antisocial personality disorder
(ASPD), and violent and criminal behavior.
GBG is structured around four core elements:
classroom rules, team membership, self- and
team-behavior monitoring, and positive
reinforcement of individual team members
and the team as a whole. Two Tribes have
been funded to participate in this program.

Description
The research that was used to create this
brochure was conducted by NPC Research
with the collaboration of prevention staff
from Oregon Tribes and through funding
from the Native American Rehabilitation
Association of the Northwest (NARA), with
federal grants from the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention and the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration. The research involved two
different sources of information, the
statewide Oregon Healthy Teens survey data
on 8th and 11th graders in Oregon from
2006, and Oregon Native Youth Survey data
on 12 to 19 year olds from four Oregon Tribal
communities, from 2009. The survey data
included descriptive information about the
youth (age, gender, and race), questions
about risk behaviors and protective factors,
and the youths’ self-reported suicidal
thoughts and suicide attempts.
Training offered by the Suicide Prevention
Resource Center (SPRC), is in the Best
Practices Registry for Suicide Prevention
(BPR), and has been implemented with some
Tribal GLS grantees and at a recent IHS
Behavioral Health Conference.

Description
The White Mountain Apache Tribe, with
technical support from Johns Hopkins,
developed the first Tribally mandated
suicide surveillance and follow-up system
in the United States. The Tribe mandated
that all health and human service
providers and Tribal members report
suicidal behavior to a centralized suicide
prevention task force. These behaviors
include: suicidal ideation, attempts,
deaths, as well as binge drinking, drug
use and cutting, which are also forms of
self-injury in our community. Johns
Hopkins assists in managing data and
tracking quarterly patterns in suicidal
behaviors and reports the information
back to all Tribal departments. An
Apache team has been trained and case
managers who follow up on every
incident reported through the suicide
surveillance system. The case managers
assess youth’s risk for suicidal death and
triage youth and their families to
available care. Prior to this, very few
youth who attempted suicide (<25%)
ever received treatment due to
numerous treatment barriers. This effort
is the first community-based follow-up
and triage system of its kind in the
country.
The SIQ-imminent risk is used on site to
assess imminent risk and provide
immediate referral and transport to the

Description
The goal of the Native Wellness Institute
is to continue bringing about positive
changes in the lifestyles, relationships,
education, and overall wellness of Native
Americans. The focus is on five main
areas that include: Healthy Relationships
and Parenting; Youth Leadership and
Development; Workplace Wellness/Staff
Development; Strategic Planning,
Program Development and Curriculum
Development; and, Educational Wellness
Conferences, Retreats and Training.
Provides information, resources, and
suggested guidelines that may be helpful
to Alaskans who respond after a suicide
occurs and/or work with individuals,
families, and communities who
experience a loss to suicide. In order for
postvention efforts to be effective,
individuals, families, organizations and
communities must be prepared to step in
after a suicide — to support those who
have experienced a loss to suicide and
help prevent subsequent suicide
attempts and completions.
A school-based curriculum that has
demonstrated increased suicide
prevention skills and decreased
hopelessness, among other positive
outcomes, in American Indian youth. The
curriculum is 28-56 lessons long. The

curriculum manual is available from the
University of Washington Press for a fee.
Sources of Strength is a best practice
youth suicide prevention project that
utilizes the power of peer social networks
to change unhealthy norms and culture
and ultimately prevent suicide, bullying
and substance abuse. The program is
designed to prevent suicide by increasing
help seeking behaviors and connections
between peers and caring adults with a
focus on Hope, Help and Strength.
Sources of Strength takes a different
approach in youth suicide prevention by
moving beyond a singular focus on risk
factors through building multiple sources
of support around young individuals so
that when times get hard they have
strengths to rely on. Currently being
used by a number of GLS grantees and
undergoing RCT through NIMH. There
are costs associated.
This policy paper on the intersection of
evidence-based practices (EBPs) and
cultural competence grow out of recent
research findings and policy trends that
encourage greater use of EBPs in clinical
programs with children, adolescents, and
their families to improve the quality of
care and outcomes of mental health
interventions.

was constructed by a group of 10 people
with the guidance of elder Peter Jacobs
during a Regional ICWA conference in
January 2008. Peter Jacobs was able to sit
with us to help us gain a good
understanding of the Yupik cycle of life
and how our teachings, our values and
traditions are applied throughout the
developmental process in order to live a
healthy balanced adult life. Included are
the knowledge and skills to fulfill the
roles of a productive member of a
community, a healthy parent, a spouse, a
teacher and the skills to assume the role
of eldership.
